Hello, and sincere thanks for your interest. Your time is precious, so my precis is short:
Paul Murphy. Singer/Songwriter/Musician/Author.
Proudest father in the world of the two greatest children a parent could be blessed with.
Currently [30.05.2023] in the end stage of Progressive Functional Motor Neurological Disorder.
Currently apologising for the downer of that last line.
Currently trying to get as much of my repertoire on UA-cam as possible, so my children can at least see what daddy did when they grow up, and hopefully, pass some love, humour and inspiration out there at the same time.
Currently adding a link below ['Donate'] to the children's Trust account, if you feel that any of my recitals, performances, jokes, research clips, etc, are worth a small donation to them, thank you, and bless you.
May you only know happiness, health, love, safety and kindness,
Paul M x

The second of two new songs written today [04.09.2024, the other being 'Something's Burning']. This is Take 2. Unusually for me, I left the song after the working, first take, and came back to it here almost an hour later, rather than play it through several times to bed it in. By the return, I had decided on a more strident guitar figure and swapped the original verse-ending G-Am figure to a m...

Переглядів 2320 годин тому
The first of two new songs written today [the other being 'The Last Arrow'], this proved more problematic out of the blocks than any new song I've written in the last 4 years - and that's over 200 songs. Having alluded to the false starts, stumbled lyrics, etc, I thought I would put one of the outtakes up, to show adversity in action! This is the only one I can release, given the decidedly unpo...

The first of two new songs written today [04.09.2024]. If you read the newspapers today, you'll know where this song came from. Sadly, I have a feeling that if you play this song the same month-day next year, it'll be relevant to that day as well.

Paul Murphy writing 'Chance Encounter'

This was in the 'vault'. I kept it back because normally, on these songwriting videos, the song has been started and finished within the 36-minute file length. This one ran over, due to my wandering off track, and so has no recital at the end, being a verse short. But I thought I'd put it up anyway having viewed it - it shows how 80% of 'Chance Encounter' came to me! Pax, Me 03 September 2024 '...

PAUL MURPHY, Wanna be friends?
✌
The video in the background of your children is so cute.
They were indeed the world's cutest, and heartwarming, children. I hope that wherever they are in the world, they will see these videos somehwere down the line.
Love this first take.😊😊
That is such a sweet original song. God bless to your wonderful daughter who is also named Emily.😊😊
It's a charmed name!
I agree.😊😊
💚
This original song sounds perfect with the electric guitar.
você é incrivel 🔥
Obrigado, você é muito gentil e gracioso. Atenciosamente, Paul M
Nice first take.
Thank you Emily. I listen to some of my old albums now, and I shudder when I realise how limited my playing capacity is now, but I always, always had the advantage of believing in my songs, and that will carry you over many a hurdle. By the way, I forgot to say, my wonderful daughter is a big Mr Magoo fan, or was when I last saw her. They used to show 8 episodes a day on the children's channel here! I used to watch the original series, with Jim Backus, but when I did the voice, I would get a quizzical 'Daddy's speaking in tongues' expression from her... Warm regards, Paul M
It’s my pleasure Paul & that’s so cool that your daughter loves Mister Magoo. I love that character too, the original of course with Jim Backus. It’s like we’re both twins.😆😊😊
@@emilysantoyo918 I did get to speak to her briefly tonight for one last time and I mentioned you, and how you like Mr Magoo and Bob's Burgers. She doesn't like to talk about - 'the good old days' - as it upsets her, but she now knows she has a mirror-image!
This is such a pretty original song.🎶😊😊
Thank you Emily, for your so-kind words. Another of my 'mini-movie' songs - and this one has a happy ending! Warmest regards, Paul M
I love this slow version & the little acapella near the end.
Thank you for your generous words Emily. Hoping you realised whose comment brought this song into being, knowing-wink emoji. Warm regards, Paul M
This original song is perfect for someone who has anxiety.
They’re all beautiful original songs. I hope I’m not disturbing you with my comments.
Emily, your comments are a pleasure to receive, read, and reply to. I mean, you've kind've entered a time of diminishing returns - it's very difficult for me to play anymore, due to physical impairment - but hopefully even if the delivery is poor, the product will still touch someone in some way. Even if it annoys them! By the way, on a sidebar, and I hope it's OK, when my daughter called last week I mentioned that I had made the acquaintance of someone also called Emily, who also liked Bob's Burgers, and who also was an extremely talented artist. Too many coicidences not to tell her! Best regards, Paul
I’m very glad you enjoyed my comments. That’s awesome that you told her. I give my regards to your whole family.
Beautifully sung.🎶
Emily, would that one could bottle your kindness. I wished I'd made a video of me making this video actually - trying to quickly shuffle the pages across during a harmonica break and then get my hand back without missing the next chord beat... I must invest in an autocue! There was a lot going on with this song under the water; I played it so the song slowly increases in pace as it progresses, and I'm muting the melody line in places at the same time - the lyric, the story, being what it is, I wanted a kind of whirlpool effect, so as the situation the heroine is in deteriorates, so the pace picks up and the words are tighter together, more claustrophobic. Nothing like making a 37-minute-long song even harder to sing... One thing I thought was fate - for some unknown reason, on the spot I decided to bring the closing harmonica solo to an end - it was due to run on for a couple of minutes - and when I went to upload it, I discovered that the camera file ended at the exact moment the last notes of the harmonica did. I guess some songs are meant to be. Warm regards, Paul M
These are a great compilation of original songs.🎶😊😊
This is a very sweet reading of an original song Paul.
Thank you for your kind words Emily. I should have used a microphone maybe - for someone who tends to scream his songs out, my speaking voice is somewhat low. It's a - it's quite grim, this song. Not subject matter that many people touch, although my stuff has always been gritty.
I love how calming this original song is. I’ve been through a rough day & this video helped soothe me.🎶😊😊
Emily, thank you so much for that, the best compliment a song can have. Hoping the next day, and all your next days, bring only smooth paths and serenity. Smiley-guitar emoji (whilst I await someone to invent one)
It’s my pleasure Paul & thanks for that sweet compliment.
Nice original.
I just came across your channel & it looks interesting. I enjoy your original songs.
Thank you Emily, that's very kind and gracious of you. You have landed on one of my more 'angst-ey' videos though! I do have some ballads as well, I promise. Best regards, Paul M
It’s my pleasure Paul, I thought the style you were playing with those songs were fine to me & I look forward to hearing some original ballads of yours. I understand you have a daughter named Emily too which is awesome.
@@emilysantoyo918 Hello Emily, yes, I do indeed have a wonderful daughter named Emily. And she likes Bob's Burgers as well, or she did the last time I saw her. Great taste for an 8-year-old!
Indeed such great taste. It’s like we both have something in common.😆
Keep it up, man :)
Thank you, I appreciate it.
love your enthusiasm keep it up Richard
Thank you, I appreciate it. Paul M
Very nice cover. Bravo.
Keep on , we’ve got your back bro.
Can you play Introducing me by nick jonas?
Hi, I'm sorry to say I truly can't. I have end-stage F-MND and my legs and much of my body is now paralysed. The videos you see going up are vault material, pre-recorded and uploaded when I am able.
Nice
Full circle take it from me
Nice guitar rock on
Thank you most kindly. As Samson might have said, "So long as I can get between the pillars, I'll do my best to bring the house down."
your room is so beautiful
you got guts
Great one Paul
Thank you so much Justin - smiley-guitar emoji!
You sound like Jimmy Pursey from Sham 69 well done Mate
@@justinfear1 Haha, thanks J, yeah, I guess there is a bit of that in there. By pure coincidence, I wrote a song yesterday called 'Some Kind Of Life', which is somewhat of a "30 years on..." of 'Sunday Morning Nightmare'.
Very good!
Thank you, you're very kind
i'm a lefty too.
So you too know the joys of paying 30% extra for our guitars over the righties!
Hell yeah man keep it coming 🤘
Hi Paul, what a great song. Many thanks. I hope to see you next Wednesday when on late night.
Hi J, and many thanks for giving me the impetus to write it.
Bravo mate, I'm sure Bob would approve!
Thank you so much. Hopefully Bob might start playing it again himself, now that the Rowdy Ways tour is over and he is back to varying his set-lists each night.
Eres un grande amigo Paul Murphy, saludos desde Santiago de Chile!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Gracias, tus palabras son muy generosas. Te mando un saludo a ti y a tus seres queridos desde West Camel, en el Reino Unido.
Yep, figures we'd have birthdays in the same month. Keep talking as long as you can Paul. I promise you, there are people listening to you,
Hell yeah! Sing it, you Irish Bastard.
Hell, I'd do that for free.
You should hire me as a roadie Paul. I'll keep it in tune.
"who's that song about" exactly. A moment in time means so many different things to different people. It can change your entire life in a second. Paul, you were going full on Monty Phyton for a moment there.
"I think you've forgotten who I am." Love that lyric.
Six pence and none the richer.
We Irish die before our time.
"I don't like Taylor Swift." LOL!
"This is kinda spooky." LOL! We know spooky don't we Paul.
